"The management coaching process that my staff and I participated in with Gary Ranker proved to be a very empowering experience for all of the parties involved."
"The candid and unabridged inputs one receives on how other people view you 'in their minds eye' provides invaluable insight that few people will ever experience in a lifetime, much less have an opportunity to act upon over an extended period of time."
"I learned a lot. It's hard work but it has helped me. We are functioning at a much higher level than before. We are more open and more collaborative. And we've accomplished a lot more than we could have without Gary Ranker."
"It became apparent that the coaching techniques could be invaluable to me in realizing my goals of becoming a senior business leader. It was obvious to me that Gary Ranker's coaching techniques could improve any individual, even if they did not have severe behavioral issues."
"Gary Ranker is the very best of the executive coaches I have worked with over the last twelve years. He has been successful in many places, including several years with many GE Capital businesses."
"I commenced the coaching with Gary Ranker and I can tell you it was the most valuable self development exercise I have ever undertaken. The coaching process provides you with the information, the tools, and most importantly, the coaching and support needed to make positive changes."
"The coaching has taught me to be more strategic about my interactions with people. Gary Ranker has taught me to be "Situational" depending upon the audience and the impression I wish to leave. I am now more strategic about my career and about my life."
"The work I have done with Gary Ranker has had a notable, positive impact on me and on the success I have achieved in my career. The perception my work colleagues have of me has improved (measured with data) and my relationships with my colleagues are more open, trusting and effective."
"Even though I am no longer in a formal "coaching" arrangement with Gary Ranker, I continue to keep in frequent contact with him to get his perspective on a variety of issues organizational, behavioral and otherwise. He continues to provide me with valuable insight."
"My greatest take away from the 360 executive coaching experience was learning to listen better, and to share more with peers and subordinates on a day to day basis. I improved my communication all the way around."
"My take-aways from the coaching are that we are more aware of where we're weak, and we acknowledged that we could do better. Our senior management gained more willingness to work together with less conflict."
"I would choose to go through coaching again, and would recommend it."
"Looking back ... would I choose to do it again? Yes."
"What value was added through Gary Ranker's coaching? The period of coaching lasted about a year in total. Several key results come to mind. Individual managers improved by addressing their own developmental issues which arose through the 360 process. Overall there is less destructive conflict, and when there is conflict, we have learned to resolve it quicker and more constructively."
"Gary Ranker is different. He forced us to look at the whole staff's dynamics. This corporate 360 process showed us that while we were successful by outside measurements, most of our leadership agreed that we were dysfunctional as a group."
"We reduced the destructive conflict among our staff."
"The corporate matrix that came out of the coaching process was the most valuable deliverable. It got us all on the same page, involved in the behavioral change process at the same time. We simply acknowledged that we had issues and that we could do better. This past year has been our most successful ever."
